In my house we have two 2013 macbook airs with wireless AC and a soon to be built desktop PC whose motherboard has a built in wireless AC adapter. The motherboard is an Asus Z97-Pro (Wi-Fi ac). I'm not sure if it matters, but the most detailed info I could find on its wireless performance is from this review:

This is all inside an old wood framed house, two floors plus a basement. Currently our Verizon branded 802.11 n modem/router is on second floor and gives good performance on our macbooks even when in basement. I'm hoping to relocate the modem to the basement and get the fastest speed feasible on my desktop on second floor. Based on info given, is there an easy first choice for wireless router?
And realistically, how long could I expect a 10GB (or larger) file to take to transfer to a NAS in the basement (plugged into router) from the desktop pc above? I may be doing some video editing in the future, and am wondering if AC speeds will be sufficient for occasional backups of large files, or if I need to get serious and run an ethernet cable up from basement to second floor.
